A Four by Four Capsule Wardrobe in Denim, Grey, Pink and Rose

The same grey clothes are going to get a bit more mileage – this time, combined with denim, and softest shades of pink and a kind of lavender-ish rose. When I built this color scheme, my thinking was that when the accent colors are so closet together and have so much the similar feeling and mood, that it sort of gives you the freedom to use any color within that entire family.

This is the color scheme, with that absolutely annoying grey that will NOT show up well once it’s transferred into a PDF. Sheesh….

When using denim as one of your neutrals, it’s can be helpful if some of the denim has some texture or pattern, so that you don’t end up looking like you’re wearing the Hillbilly Tuxedo (i.e. too much denim on denim). I know that right now a lot of denim together is being shown as being quite acceptable, but it’s not a look that’s going to stand the test of time!

This series is so timely as I'm losing weight and will soon be able to fit into some of the smaller sizes that have been languishing in my closet. I'll use this info to pull together some mini-capsules to tide me over during the weight-loss phase.

Add black as an additional (and more formal) neutral and a soft blue as an additional color as well as white for contrast … you have my wardrobe for retirement. Grays and denim will darker and less distressed. This series so much fun but also though-provoking. Thank you again, Janice. Susan in WA

I'm loving your core pieces in grey…as much as I love black I have a few greys in my wardrobe and can see now that my hair is getting more silver that this shade will pop up more frequently.Thanks again for all your inspiring posts!

I love this color combo. I'd really encourage you to create these colors in a wardrobe for a lady doctor. I only dream about a visit to Paris and London but I can't I deliver babies all year long. I don't have time to stand in front of my clothes and try to figure out what to wear. So I have followed you for years. However I'd love to encourage you to show this lady doctor what to wear .
